Ofsted Inspection Summary
Castle Hill Village Nursery was inspected by Ofsted on 10 November 2022 and received an overall rating of Good. In their report, inspectors noted: "Children enter happily and enjoy seeking their friends to socialise. They benefit from a wide variety of resources and activities which appeal to their age and stage of development. For example, children curiously approach an opportunity to build a house for the three little pigs."
Key strengths
- Children have good opportunities to learn new vocabulary.
- The staff encourage children's independence.
- Parents are happy with the communication received about their child's care.
- Children communicate well, and staff have provided additional strategies to ensure that children who need additional support can express their wants and needs.
- Staff have established strong partnerships with outside agencies, which helps to prepare children for what comes next.
Areas for improvement
- review and develop the organisation of daily routines, such as lunchtimes, to reduce waiting times and keep children engaged in learning
- provide more consistent support and guidance for staff to promote communication for children with SEND and children who speak English as an additional language.
